I bought the Carnival King Donut Fryer before my shop opened. It was the best way for me to fry my donuts. It fits beautifully right next to the my stove and is separated by a stainless steel barrier. I've been using since 10/21/16 and has not given me a day of trouble. Easy to clean. Fries 12 of my donuts (pretty big) with no issues. Love them.

DON'T BUY!!! I just used this carnival king fryer and it is the reason I decided to leave reviews on all the items I have purchased through webstaurant. The oil didn't even heat up to 300 degree!!!!!!!!!! The amount of oil your product will soak up in that amount of time to cook it through is a waste of time.

Do not buy!!! This fryer doesn’t work properly. It took 2 hrs to heat up and never reached full temperature. I only made 4 funnel cakes before the heating element stopped working. I was at a large event when this happened & had to have my employee go out & buy a Propane fryer to continue making my funnel cakes. It was a prepaid event & I couldn’t fill my obligation to the event coordinator. What a nightmare. I’ve emailed customer service and haven’t had a response. Don’t waste your money! You WILL be disappointed!

I am on my 2nd fryer now. Don’t waste your money on this. Doesn’t heat up to proper temperature took more than a hour to only reach 200 degrees. Customer service is basically unreachable. Such a waste and a lot of disappointment.

Don’t buy this fryer! It is made cheaply and fast. I purchased this fryer for my business and only used it 4 times before it quit heating properly. The reset button would also trip often. I was too late for the 6 month warranty (by 2 months) due to my business opening later than expected. I purchased a new heating element hoping that would fix the problem. During installation the service technician found a stripped wire that was touching the metal causing an arc. That is what was tripping the reset as well as what caused the heating problem. It was a manufactures defect all along. We would have never found out without opening it up. Once the new heating element was installed it still didn’t heat properly and the technician said the reset button needed to be replaced. He also said the arc is what caused the heating Read More

We are sorry your Carnival King DFC4400 25 lb. Funnel Cake / Donut Fryer - 240V was defective. Action has been taken to remedy this. Thank you for your feedback, as we continually work to improve our products!

We purchased this product to add funnel cakes to our menu at our Italian ice and ice cream shop. It advertised that the unit reaches temperatures up to 370 degrees. This unit never reached over 300 degrees and failed to hold that temperature. We were never able to make funnel cakes for our customers and it failed to produce any funnel cake viable to sell. I would never recommend purchasing this funnel cake fryer.

After much searching we decided to purchase this fryer for our business. Today was our first day using the unit and it took 3 hours to 300 degrees not even the max temperature. I couldn’t fry anything without whatever I was frying just absorbing the oil and being a stale oily mess. Not happy what so ever!

Do not buy! Im on my second one and it is now not working. Im not going to buy a third one. Each time something went wrong with heating element or thermostat. I tried fixing the first one (died after a year).. but could not get it to work again. Decided it was easier to just buy a new one... well its five months later and this one stopped working.. power light comes on but does not heat... 2 units died in 16 months... we are not making funnel cakes anymore because I refuse to buy a third one... Gezzus!

Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry your Carnival King DFC4400 25 lb. Funnel Cake / Donut Fryer - 240V was defective. Corrective action has been taken and a Customer Solutions Representative will remain in contact with you about this. For a heavy duty funnel cake fryer we recommend this Paragon 9020 ParaFryer 4400 25 lb. Funnel Cake Fryer instead!

I ordered 2 more of these to add to our growing collection of fryers for festivals and fairs. The grease heats up evenly. I make 2 large funnel cakes at a time or 6 mini cakes at a time. We use it fulltime while set up at the fairs/festivals and it has yet to let me down. The customer service from WebstaurantStore has been top notch. I've not had any problems with my orders or shipments.
